73's Tweaking Special Teams

Following Saturday's Game 3 loss, the head coach of the Essex 73's says there will be some subtle changes heading into tonight's game in Ayr.

The puck drops at 7:30pm tonight in Game 4 of the Schmalz Cup semi-final. Essex leads the series 2-1 but fell 7-3 Saturday night.

Gil Langlois won't say specifically what changes fans can expect, but says "it's on our special teams. Both power play and penalty kill."

Game 5 is in Essex at 7pm Tuesday night.
